I'm sorry. I felt this way when my dad sold my grandparents' lake house. We grew up there in the summers.
I feel so weird because I didn't even grow up in this house. They moved to their house 2 years ago. I had a lot of bad memories of the rough relationship with my mother in their old house and the new house was a fresh start. It marked the point in my relationship with my mom where we were at peace with each other. It was meaningful to me because I was able to let go of the past.
I'm so sorry Wambam, I know exactly how you feel. My parents put their house up for sale a few weeks ago and received an offer. The selfish part of me was kind of hoping they wouldn't get an offer or they would change their mind. It definitely does suck.
When they sold their old house, it went very quickly because it was a wooded 1 acre lot in a town where the houses are usually on top of each other and the house was a rare gem.
This time, I thought it would take awhile, but it took even less than the old house.
My parents are selling the house where we spent the most time growing up in a couple of years and it makes me so sad. It's weird how we can attach so many emotions to a pile of wood and bricks.
